Sounds to me like a largely political maneuver designed to show both sides are in favor of reform that will see to it that that Fla election mess "never happens again".
Obviously, if people can't follow a ballot, the government can't do anything about it so this is a relatively tough claim to make.
The election WAS pretty messy and there's lots of questions etc, (along with allegations of discrimination which I guess should be at least given the benefit of being explored) but for the most part, I really think this should be left alone.
Dubbya is the pres we have and, after this mess, I think people are gonna be a LOT more careful when they hit that ballot come next election...
